Why ‘Bonded’ Rabbits Still Fight — and What to Do
If you’ve ever been told that once rabbits are bonded they’ll never fight again, you’re not alone — and you’re not wrong for feeling confused or stressed when scuffles break out. The truth is: bonded rabbits can and do still fight . Bonding isn’t a magical, permanent switch. It’s a relationship — and like any relationship, it can be tested by stress, change, hormones, health issues, and environment. Let’s unpack why bonded rabbits still fight , what’s normal, what’s not, an

Why Animal Cruelty Is Astronomically Wrong — And Why It Should Break All Our Hearts
There are few things in this world that feel as deeply, viscerally wrong as animal cruelty. It cuts through politics, culture, upbringing and belief systems. It’s not a “difference of opinion”. It’s a moral catastrophe. Animals are, by nature, vulnerable. Most of them are prey species — wired for fear, highly sensitive to pain, and entirely dependent on the world around them to be safe. They don’t have a voice. They don’t get to vote. They can’t report abuse. They trust by de

When a Pet Dies: A Grief That Is Often Misunderstood
There is a particular kind of silence that follows the loss of a pet. Not just the quiet of an empty house, but the silence of feeling like your grief is somehow not allowed to be as big as it is .

Why Blocking a Photographer After a Licensing Breach Is Not Okay
I want to take a moment to address something that happens far too often in the photography industry, and it needs to be spoken about openly. When you purchase images under a Personal Use Licence , that licence clearly outlines what you can and cannot do with those images. Personal use means exactly that — not for business, not for advertising, not for websites, not for marketing, and not for anything that generates income or promotes a commercial activity . Using those imag

Stop Hijacking Posts: Why Respectful Engagement Builds Better Communities
Why This Matters When someone takes over a post, it can feel like an authoritarian move —silencing the original voice and overshadowing their effort. Most people share content to help, inspire, or inform based on what they know. Hijacking that moment doesn’t just derail the conversation; it discourages others from posting at all. If we want healthy online communities , we need to think about how and when we comment . I also acknowledge that no-one is perfect and we all make m

Understanding Fly Strike in Rabbits: Prevention and Urgent Care
What is Fly Strike in Rabbits? Fly strike, also known as myiasis, is a serious and often life-threatening condition that affects rabbits, especially during the warmer months in Australia. It occurs when flies—commonly the green bottle fly—lay their eggs on the rabbit’s skin, usually around the rear end or any area soiled with urine or faeces. The eggs hatch into maggots within hours, and these maggots can burrow into the rabbit’s flesh, causing severe pain, infection, and eve
